The year started with a trip to Hawaii in January for my brother’s wedding.
January wedding – I made this necklace for my new sister to wear for her Hawaii wedding
ummmm….we won’t be taking my car to Homer this weekend! The ice and snow on my neighbor’s roof slid off onto my car and smashed it … luckily we weren’t standing there loading her gear when it dumped!
Late spring trips to the cabins for restocking and supplying for longer summer stays…
The big toe of the Matanuska Glacier as seen from the driveway of my friend’s cabin
Thunderheads build over the mountains near Palmer – a record setting rainy summer
Partly the result of the rain, the old dock sags under water this spring
The new dock taking shape with help from my Dad…This was a much bigger project than I realized it was going to be
This is what it’s all about for me these days…my private paradise
New neighbors at the lake this fall…I just hope they don’t push the loons away
A September trip to Homer was windy but scenic.
After a year of record snows in spring and record rainfall in September, October was relatively warm and beautiful
All in all a pleasant look back at a good year…

I’m sure you realize how surreal a caption that mentions a glacier as seen from a driveway sounds to most people. 🙂 Nice selection of pics.
Thanks for visiting! Yes, It’s not even that common a sight up here. Her cabin is well placed for a view but there’s always a chilly breeze off that 20 mile long ice cube!
Beautiful swans!!!
They are gorgeous but they are also bullies!
Thanks for stopping by!

your private paradise = wooden house at the lake with elk on top – would be better than paradise on clouds for me – but: no electricity?
Paradise indeed…no electricity (yet) and no running water (yet), no traffic noise, no daily commute, no nagging appointment book…I could go on and on…!
Thanks for visiting!
